Chapter 20 Hiding Names
As a member of the Qingwei Sect, Li Shizhi naturally knew the great name of the "Three-point Absolute Sword", and his face was already pale.
It's just that the situation is stronger than people, it's not that he doesn't want to escape, but he knows that he can't escape. Since the person in front of him can even catch the flying sword, where can he escape, I am afraid that he will die on the spot as soon as he turns around.
Li Shizhi stood in place and didn't dare to move a little, Li Xuandu's figure swept away, and patted Li Shizhi's shoulder lightly, Li Shizhi felt that his body sank, and a cold aura instantly flowed all over his body along his meridians, and finally fell into the invisible position of his dantian qi sea.
Li Shizhi knew that this was a symptom of the "three-point sword" entering the body, and he was miserable in his heart, but he also knew that such a result was much better than dying on the spot.
Li Xuandu instructed again: "How to finish next, I don't think I need to teach it." ”
Li Shizhi lowered his head and promised.
Li Xuandu turned around and drifted away from the county office, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared.
Li Shizhi stood in place, still with his head down, his thoughts fluctuating.
He is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been sent by the master to serve in Qingluanwei, at this time, he had vaguely guessed the identity of this person, and he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring when he thought of the recent changes in the master.
After a long time, a Qingluan guard cautiously approached and asked softly, "My lord?"
Li Shizhi suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes gloomy.
The surrounding Qingluanwei couldn't help but be startled.
Li Shizhi looked around coldly: "I'll say hello in advance, there is a word about today's matter here, no matter who it is, it will be killed immediately!"
A group of Qingluan Wei, who were lucky enough to survive, immediately said in unison: "My subordinates understand!"
Li Shizhi glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Collect the corpse!"
A group of Qingluan Wei immediately began to get busy.
On the other side, Li Xuandu's body was in a hurry, and he soon left Yanggu County and returned to the dock.
The Qian family's grain ship is still docked at the wharf, and when he was in the county office, he once said that these ten boats of grain were the military rations of the Qizhou Governor's Mansion, but it was really not untargeted.
The first thing to spend money in the world is to fight, and if you have thousands of silver in your treasury, if a big war is fought, the treasury will be empty.
Today's imperial court has experienced more than ten years of war, and the treasury is empty every year. It is precisely because the imperial court has no money and no one to quell local rebellions, so it can only give power to local governors, which makes the local governors have the momentum of feudal towns, and they are already faintly above the six Shangshu, and even have room for bargaining with the cabinet and the celebrants.
When the governor of Jiangnan decided to use the matter of Qin Xiang to attack the Qian family, the governor of Qizhou had already received some rumors. Now Jiangzhou is the main source of food in Qizhou, which is the most important thing in the Qian family, although the Qian family is not in vain to send food, but at least did not deliberately raise the price of grain, if the Qian family changes, the situation in Qizhou will inevitably change, even if someone can fill the vacancy of the Qian family, it is by no means a moment and a half can change, in this blank time, the situation in Qizhou changes are very unpredictable, so even if the governor of Qizhou is very close to the imperial capital, it is still contrary to the will of the imperial court, and he tries his best to oppose this matter.
Now there are more than 45,000 imperial court officers and soldiers in Qizhou, and the defenders of Dongchang Mansion are about 8,000 people, and these ten boats of grain can supply them with a month's military supplies. It's not that the Governor's Mansion of Qizhou doesn't want to buy more, but it's shy in the pocket, because the military salary of the imperial court is not timely, there are always arrears, so many times it can only be raised little by little, and sometimes even on credit, if the ten grain ships of the Qian family are really detained in Yanggu County, this deal will lose a small matter, and the defenders of Dongchang Mansion will run off food, maybe the Qingyang Sect will take advantage of this incident to attack Dongchang Mansion.
Although Li Xuandu didn't fully know Qing Luanwei's plan, he still sensed that someone was going to attack the Qian family's fleet with years of experience in the rivers and lakes, otherwise he would not have deliberately let go of the assassin, and then followed the trail all the way to Yanggu County, so Li Xuandu's move this time was not just because of the Qian family.
As for why the Qingyang Sect knew that these grains were military rations but did not intercept them, there were three main reasons. First, the Qingyang Sect also had trade contacts with the Qian family, and they robbed a large amount of gold and silver in Qizhou, but the gold and silver were not edible, and they also had to find the Qian family to exchange it for food; second, the Qian family was extremely heavy in the Cao Gang, and many Cao Gang disciples in Qizhou also joined the Qingyang Sect, which means that you have me, I have you; third, money can communicate with the gods, and the Qingyang Sect is not monolithic, let alone a saint, and many middle-level leaders and even upper-level leaders will turn a blind eye after receiving the money from the Qian family.
When Li Xuandu returned to the cabin, he found that Qian Yurong was waiting for him, but this was also expected by Li Xuandu, this girl was not stupid, but she had less experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and after a little tempering, she didn't dare to say that it was another Qian Yulou, and it should not be difficult to occupy a place in the Qian family.
Qian Yurong waited for a long time, and finally waited for this strange account room that seemed to be shrouded in clouds and fog, hesitated for a moment, did not sneer and provoke in the same tone as before, and said calmly for the first time: "Where did Mr. Li go?"
Li Xuan didn't deliberately conceal it, and said directly: "There are some problems with the person who started the assassination just now, so I chased after him and investigated." ”
Qian Yurong asked directly, "What is the result of Mr. Li's investigation?"
Li Xuandu said slowly: "It's not the Qingyang Sect that makes a move, but Qingluanwei secretly plots. According to my speculation, it should be because of the recent incident of the Jiangnan Governor and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, so Qingluanwei decided to take action against the Qian family. first sent someone to assassinate Miss Qian, so that the Qian family's fleet would stop in Yanggu County, and then they waited for an opportunity to frame her, or any other means, in short, it was Qingluanwei's trick to kill people without seeing blood. ”
Qian Yurong asked, "And then?"
Li Xuandu said: "I reasoned with them, and there happened to be an acquaintance, so I made sense, the Qingluanwei in the city will not come to us for trouble again, please rest assured." ”
Qian Yurong looked at Li Xuandu suspiciously: "It's that simple?"
Li Xuandu asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, how complicated does the young lady want?"
Qian Yurong was about to speak, but the old man surnamed Zhang had already walked out of the cabin and said with a smile: "Many friends and many roads, things in this world are sometimes so simple." ”
Hearing the old man surnamed Zhang say the same, Qian Yurong knew that she couldn't ask any more, so she snorted lightly.
Li Xuandu smiled and asked, "I wonder if Miss Qian has anything else?"
Qian Yurong wanted to speak and stopped, no longer spicy, but with some little women's twisting.
Li Xuan didn't leave in a hurry and waited for the following.
Qian Yurong took a deep breath and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Li Xuandu was stunned, and then understood that Qian Yurong thanked him for helping her block the cold arrow, and shook his head with a smile: "Since they are people in the same boat, together with the wind and waves, no one can be spared if they fall into the water first and then fall into the water, so naturally they have to support each other, Miss Qian doesn't have to be polite." ”
Qian Yurong said a soft "um" and turned to leave.
The old man surnamed Zhang did not move his steps, stood in place, hugged his fists and said: "Although Mr. Li said it lightly, but it is dangerous, and the old man still cares about it, and I want to thank Mr. Li this time." ”
Li Xuandu smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter whether you thank you or not, even if you don't think about the Qian family, you have to think about the people in Dongchang Mansion." In life, it's always good to think about yourself seven times and think about others for the remaining three points. ”
The old man nodded and said, "That's the truth." ”
Li Xuandu turned around and left.
The old man came behind Qian Yurong, hesitated, and said, "Miss, don't spend too much thought on this Mr. Li, this person is not something that our small temple can leave behind." ”
Qian Yurong said: "I'm not a fool, of course I know this, even if I want to solicit, then Aunt Jin will go out in person, maybe I will have to call my uncle in the future." ”
The old man glared and said, "Miss, be careful!"
Qian Yurong said with a smile: "Why can't this work, the dignified head of the Qian family, the famous Qian family in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many men covet it but can't ask for it, even I, a woman, have to be a little moved." ”
The old man said helplessly: "Miss should never say these words in front of outsiders." ”
